the batcomputer is definitely one 66 show accurate little gimme that's been mentioned before. otherwise it's the restored/revised edition.

Things I notice (in addition to others mentioned) that were added to the Elite, '66 based/accurate and not currently on the #1....they added the door bat,
they added the missing roll top dash door (the one to the right of the steering wheel) currently missing on the #1, the SAFETY BAT-BELTS added (I don't
think currently on the #1) Dash as stated, added the start buttons, the transmission lights and turn signal triangles, the HOMING RECEIVING SCOPE knob, the
BAT-RAM lever, the 5 light array under the front arch ( they put 4, should have been 5), rocket tube gaskets are black like they should be (current #1 are
chrome), only the last trunk chevron is painted, and it appears that they used my screen grab image on my timeline webpage as reference for the MOBILE CRIME
COMPUTER.

I'll split the difference with you all on the batcomputer, the dash details and a couple other smalls but not some of these other things which seem like
dumb luck or just being cheap (black rocket tube flanges for ex.) to me. LOL
John I agree with your assessment on your screenshot. You have a spot in this toy's history!

Hey everybody, I was bored and did some intense searching on the Internest, and found a site in China with a whole page of great photos of the Super Elite! It
shows it from every angle, lots of closeups of the new interior and all of the change and improvements they've made, inside every compartment (even I was
surprised by all of the new details features that some people had hinted to earlier). I was going to list all of the new stuff and great new added pieces, but
thought that you might rather look at it yourselves. Just go
to.....................................uh........................................rats..............................................shoot! Well, it looks like I
forgot to save the site and when I shut off my browser it erased all of the old links. Oh well, I you will just have to wait until Hot Wheels releases this
info themselves. Boy, it sure was GREAT! ; )(wink)

Description from bigbadtoystore, with things I haven't heard before...
Link to BBTS page This item is limited to 3000 pcs worldwide, and is packaged in a closed box with opening lid. Displayed on a formed aluminum sheet metal plinth, the body is die-cast and painted gloss black. It also has the following features: parachute cable wires and so on.. dunno if that's real, but that is what they are saying. |

I think all those things are listed on scooter's main page with the pics he got, plus they forgot the metal rear antenna that's on scott's list
also. I've become a big BBTS fan--they've served me well and prices are often (but not always) cheaper than a lot of other places. They also
don't over-sell pre-orders as far as I know. If anything they sell out then if they end up with extras, they update and add them to their store as soon as
they get their allocation. Only $270 for the SE right now.

Yeah if I left any of those off my list, it was a mistake. They are all features I saw on the Mattel document.

I just checked the home page and noticed Scot's mention of the grillework in the "nostrils" of the hood scoop. Now here's a detail that
isn't show accurate (at least up until 'greatest mother of them all') but I always felt should be there anyway. I guess on this particular point I
would have to opt for not 100% accurate in favor of what I think it should have been. I think it's a nice touch.
